PC-9M flying late tonight ?
« on: August 02, 2005, 10:47:34 pm »
About 7pm tonight I heard a PC-9M fly over my house - at cruising speed - which I thought was a little unusual (never previously heard/seen one about after c.5pm).

Any ideas folks ?    
Returning from a cross-country training sortie perhaps ?

Night flying is part of the course, I have often seen the Marchetties flying in the very late hours, last time I seen 'em was about 2 years ago at around 2000 hours on a moonless night.
The PC-9's should be vastly more suitable for this type of work.

Doing some over time before the holidays for extra cash, we have all done it.

In fact over the years, at this time of year, I have observed Air Corps night flying training so nothing unusual.

The aircraft was flying a simulated attack profile on an Army unit down in the Curragh I believe.
